This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Most bridges here do, and often when one needs to be demolished and rebuilt, the military blows it up just for practice.

I wouldn't say post-apocalyptic. Yes, we won't have access to performant new chips anymore, but most critical infrastructure doesn't need performant new chips. It would be a rough period, for sure, but not apocalyptic

And if worst came to worst, the military/government could requisition consumer equipment, or less critical business equipment
